[ Peter's keeping his eyes peeled for unwanted company, too, even in light of what the drell says. By his reckoning, the Ravagers at the bar would probably be starting the long process of licking their wounds, gathering up their injured. If he and Kasumi are very lucky, they won't even notice he's gone until Yondu does a headcount and comes up one short.
But Peter doesn't trust his luck. Not anymore.
He's glancing behind them, peering down the alley in case they might've missed someone following them, when Kasumi asks her question. His tongue runs over the back of his teeth thoughtfully. Maybe-- he should go back. Maybe this was a bad idea. Maybe if he hurries, he can return to the bar in time to join the others back to the Eclector. Maybe--
Maybe he should go back.
Yeah. He should go back.
Peter turns back to say as much. He's going to say, "This was a mistake," but that look on Kasumi's face makes the words die on his lips.
So in the end he just-- nods, edging forward out of the cover of the alley. ]

We'd better hurry.
